Sunday, Alex and I spent the day catching rays of sunshine, lounging in the family pool and watching Both Maleficent and X-Men: Days of Future Past. Even though, I want to tell you all about each particular movie, not everyone has seen it yet, and I will not be blamed for spoilers. All I will say, is Maleficent was extremely empowering especially for a Disney movie. X-Men, literally fixed every mistake they had made. EVER. I was NOT a fan of quicksilver's costume, but hey, everything can't be perfect. But the Movie, unlike Spider-man 2 DEFINITELY lived up to the hype!

If you were on the fence about going to see either one of these movies, I need you to climb over to the side of yes and go see these movies immediately. As mentioned in early posts, I've been working more, leaving less time to spend with Alex, so we decided that we would have date day and go see two movies! It was super fun having a double feature, the usher/ticket clerk? recognized us, laughed and asked us how Maleficent was, I gave my honest opinion. Everyone in the world should go see that movie A.S.A.P! We went out, and picked me up a bathing suit, and enjoyed the beautiful sun, it was so warm outside, plus the fact that they keep their pool heated, meant I nearly fainted from the heat, but I looked cute, so I didn't complain!

We also started Claymore, a (new to me) anime with his family. It wasn't too shabby. Not a fan of the violence. Villages in Japan are being attacked by Youma (Vampires) and the weapons humans have are Claymore, female humans that have been breeded with Youma genes, that can kill them. Sometime's I forget that Alex lives with his brothers. They were trying to get me to watch Queen's Blade. But that shit was NOT about to fly! Silly Silly Boys.

I have seen every episode of Criminal Minds. I can be total honest, and say that this television program had some grounding in my decision to change my college major from History to Criminal Justice. Matthew Gray Gubler, is a real person. Flesh and Blood, living breathing and chilling out with famous people. I have a crush on him, I'll be honest. His character, Dr. Spencer Reid, is a bonefied nerd Bedroom fantasy for me. No reason to be shy ladies, I think that man in all his sweater-vest and skinny tie glory, is the fucking bee's knees. The things I would do to that man, would make yours and his toes curl. I am completely and irrevocably in love with this Man. Here are a few reasons why.

- His lack of completely acceptable social interactions and behaviors makes him completely endearing to me. I'm perfectly ok, with his stuttering in public, during speaking. We can hide in the library all day long as he explains to me things I've never heard of or experienced. Maybe we'll experience them together.

- He has his own demons, and needs help dealing with them. His mother's mental health, his feeling of Loss over Prentiss, The loss of Maeve, his kidnapping, I could have been there to help him deal, possibly saved him from the kidnapping. (Who am I kidding?) I think it's extremely exhilarating for a man to actually be able to develop his feelings in words and expressing them. Whether, they are happy or not so happy.

- I wonder if he's a virgin. You gotta think about it, he hasn't been with anyone in all 9 seasons of existence. He never got to with Maeve, and as sad as everyone especially I was to see her go, especially as gruesomely as she did. Maybe I could teach him a few things. He's smart, ridiculously intelligent, just imagine how in handy his physics knowledge might be. He might even discover that my body is a wonderland.

- He's good at his job. Even though he is literally a genius, there are even episodes when he feels like the rest of us, "like he's wasted his potential". What a silly goose. Besides, there's nothing at all wrong about our 8 year gap. I think he'd be cool with that.

I could literally go on for days, but I know for a fact that most people just kinda skim my blog because my posts tend to be on the wordier side ( Another reason, Reid and I are perfect for each other) so I'll cut this short, and just keep the rest for my dark most inner thoughts.

If you ask me any questions about myself, they tend to follow a trend. They will eventually fall upon the track of what I affectionately call, my nerd-isms. The first is always the question who is your favorite superhero? I am a huge comic book fan. When I was working two jobs, and disposable income was rolling in, every Wednesday, I was at my local comic book shop picking up my favorites. Ever since I was little,
Black Canary has always been my favorite Superhero. As a young girl, my parents were ahead of the game, making sure I was exposed to every possible strong female role model they could get their hands on. From my mother's side, I was given female detectives, Strong Female nurses, Women from history. My Father's side, Cartoon characters, strong comic book characters, everything fictional I could get my hands on. They became solace, a pillar I could hide behind when things got rough. It instilled in me the attributes that a strong independent woman of color should have. My role models didn't have to look, act, or talk like me to be important to me. They just had to provide me with something that I didn't quite have then, glimpses of attitudes, wit, sarcasm, and special abilities that I wanted to have, I wanted to live up to.
Black Canary, at least for me, embodies everything that a woman should be. Strong, quick-witted, beautiful, smart, and a match for her lover, Green Arrow. One of the things I like about Black Canary is her relationships. She would protect a loved one just as fiercely as she would protect an unknown passer-by caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Her relationship with Oliver Queen is pure, time tested and worthy of other's jealousy. It's not anything like Bruce Wayne's with Selina Kyle, or Talia, full of sadness, uncertainty and hatred.
I even love all of her incarnations. Her own series, Justice League of America, Justice League Unlimited, Combat trainer to Young Justice,and she has her own arc teaming up with Zatanna, how can she possibly go wrong? She's just so (to me) utter flawless! I might be a touch on the biased side. I can't wait until I move into my new place, and there's space for sewing! She's the next project on my Cosplay To Do List.
